same here.   i had _never_ willingly used package.seeall, and slowly
came to see that the rest of the module function is almost as dirty
inside, so i had already started to simply return a table on my
modules.

about more 'advanced' uses of module, in the _very_ few times i've
needed something more than the "one file, one module" schema, i had
even more reasons not to use the module function.  to be honest, i
never found myself comfortable enough with it to trust to do exactly
what i had in mind.

in the end, losing it is (for me) a step forward
